Rhaenyra The Cruel by Anonymous
Fandoms: House of the Dragon (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms
07 May 2025

Summary
When King Viserys named his firstborn son, Prince Aegon, as heir to the Iron Throne, it marked the final blow to Princess Rhaenyra’s dwindling hopes. Despite the king’s assurances of her place as his rightful successor, the birth of his son with Queen Alicent Hightower rendered those promises hollow. Bitter and scorned, Rhaenyra retreated to Dragonstone, where she soon took a new husband—her uncle, Prince Daemon Targaryen, a marriage born of defiance; it was an alliance forged in fire and blood.
While Viserys remained blissfully unaware—or willfully blind—to the resentment festering in his daughter’s heart, Daemon stoked the flames of her ambition, encouraging her belief that the Iron Throne was her birthright, stolen from her by the machinations of the Hightowers and the fickle will of her father. Together, the Rogue Prince and the Realm’s Delight plotted a course that would plunge the Seven Kingdoms into a war unlike any before—a war that would be remembered as the Dance of the Dragons.
Thus in there first act, the innocent blood of Crown Prince Aegon was spilled, a brutal message to Viserys and the Hightowers alike: Rhaenyra would not be denied.

skin your children for a war drum by WhereTheWildThingsHide
Fandoms: House of the Dragon (TV)
19 Nov 2025

Summary
King Viserys, the first of his name, dies alone and rotting, though most will say that he had died many sunturns before, on the eve of what maesters will come to name, 'the dance of the dragons', a bloody and unjust civil war between the Greens and the Blacks. Between his firstborn and his first son.
The fool king dies alone, with just the memory of false peace between the two branches of his family to calm his failing heart.
Delighted to finally be reunited with his love, Aemma, and their lost children, Visery instead awakes an odd Twenty-and-one sun turns before, at what he now knows to be the beginning of the end for the house of the dragons. His blood calls for that of towers, and with what he knows to come, no thing in all of the seven kingdoms will sate his hunger.

ashes to ashes, blood to blood by MageOfCole

Summary
The Valyrian Gods had watched the Dance of Dragons with disgust. Had watched the very House they had saved from the Doom tear itself apart over a needless succession crisis that had left the dragons dead, and House Targaryen weakened.
If allowed to continue, the Song of Ice and Fire would fail, and the world of men destroyed.Meanwhile, Rhaenyra Targaryen, fresh from the loss of her gentle mother, wakes from a dream she cannot remember, terror driving her from the chambers and to those of King Viserys, the first of his name, and the very king who would plant the seeds that would grow into the Dance of the Dragons.

Lucerys Velaryon of the Vampire Coast by SkilledWarriorKiwi
Fandoms: House of the Dragon (TV), Warhammer Fantasy, A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms
31 Oct 2024
Tags
Summary
The tragedy that befell Lucerys Velaryon at Storm’s End was never planned, on this all of our sources agree. The first battles in the Dance of the Dragons were fought with quills and ravens, with threats and promises, decrees and blandishments. The murder of Lord Beesbury at the green council was not yet widely known; most believed his lordship to be languishing in some dungeon. Whilst sundry familiar faces were no longer seen about court, no heads had appeared above the castle gates, and many still hoped that that the question of succession might be resolved peaceably.
The Stranger had other plans. For surely it was his dread hand behind the ill chance that brought the two princelings together at Storm’s End, when the dragon Arrax raced before a gathering storm to deliver Lucerys Velaryon to the safety of the castle yard, only to find Aemond Targaryen there before him.
And with Lucerys's death, the war of ravens and envoys and marriage pacts came to an end, and the war of fire and blood began in earnest.
Or, Lucerys is killed over Shipbreaker Bay as he was always fated to be. Only this time he doesn't stay dead.
Mostly.

Ripples Of Oleander by The_Morregan
Fandoms: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms, House of the Dragon (TV)
14 Oct 2024
Tags
Summary
When Aegon was seven he had an unusual stomach ache, one which defied all conventional treatments, and the Maesters -desperate to heal the little prince- took drastic measures: Aegon was given a dose of oleander tea. Oleander is medicine, yes. But medicines are only poison in a safe dosage.
Prince Aegon, born in the year 107 AC, would not grow up and challenge his sister Rhaenyra for the Iron Throne. Prince Aegon, firstborn son of King Viserys I and Alicent Hightower, would join a queue of other Aegons who were born, and died without leaving their mark on the legacy of The Conqueror’s name. Instead, Alicent would bind her remaining son and daughter in matrimony, and plot to raise up her second son, Aemond, as the future King of Westeros.
In which Oleander makes ripples in the pool, and some things are different, but many are the same.

Summary
Frustrated, Viserra next turned to her brother Baelon in hopes of rescue, if court gossip can be believed. Slipping past his guards into his bedchamber one night, she disrobed and waited for him, making free with the prince’s wine whilst she lingered. When Prince Baelon finally appeared, he found her drunk and naked in his bed and sent her on her way.
But what if Baelon hadn't sent her away? What if he married Viserra? How would her life and the Dynasty of the Targaryens be different?
